The Development of Children and Young People's Collaborative Facilitation

This research explored the development of individuals' collaborative facilitation of different ages in different retrieve sequences and learning materials. The design was a 5( age: 9 years old,11 years old,14 years old,17 years old and 20 years old) × 3( recall sequence: CII、ICI、III) × 2( learning materials: pictures or texts) between-subjects design. The results showed that collaborative facilitation appeared in all ages of both CII and ICI recall sequences,and the final memory performance in these two sequences had no difference. What's more,the amount of collaborative facilitation of 17 years old participants was higher than 9,11,14 and 20 years old. There was no difference among other age. No matter how old the participant was,there was no difference between picture and texts on the collaborative facilitation amount. These suggest that the order of collaborative memory has little impact on collaborative facilitation. The effects of collaborative facilitation in 17-year-old individuals are the best.
